The present invention relates to a composite concrete building material
comprising cementatious materials; and foam glass aggregates. The
cementatious materials may comprise cement, sand and fly ash. The
cementatious materials may also comprise other materials, including, for
example, reinforcing fibers. In one embodiment the reinforcing fibers are
comprised of one or more of the following materials: glass, steel,
titanium, other metals, carbon, or Kevlar. The foam glass aggregates may
have a closed pore structure and average pore size of 1.0 mm or less,
wherein said average pore size is measured based on the distance between
two farthest points of pore surface. The foam glass aggregate may have an
average density of 30 to 100 PCF. The foam glass aggregate may have a
compression strength of 2000 PSI or greater. The foam glass aggregates
may be on average between 0.1 inches and approximately 2.0 inches in
their largest diameter.
